As every face on this component is a potential reference face take the time to make sure that every face One of the best ways to master the art of using hand tools and edge is square and flat. A hefty plane is to use them to make tools of your own. Theo Cook demonstrates and shooting board is my preferred method. If your finished dimensions are slightly less a few tricks of the trade in the making of his bog oak pencil gauge than those in the cutting list don’t fret, flat and square is more important. Having accomplished this, mark out the through hole with 45° corners with a sharp pencil on both faces of the stock. If you have chosen he pencil gauge is often technique and a selection of tools a dark wood use some masking tape to overlooked as being a useful that you can rely on. So, what CUTTING LIST make reading the layout lines easier. When Taddition to the tool kit, but better way to combine these Components size you are happy with the layout use a marking for me, it’s an essential part of my principles than to incorporate Beam: 250 x 18.2 x 18.2mm gauge to define the hole and generate cut layout and marking equipment.

No two pieces of timber are the same square hole to locate a washer. I made my own cutter for this job, and it will pay to experiment with a few test holes in an offcut of the but it can also be done with a regular chisel. If your thumbscrew has same species to check the fit of these components. Having a selection a collar like mine you may want to pre-drill a larger hole into the top of drill bits at 0.5mm increments or less either side of what you expect of the stock to accommodate it before drilling for the tapping tool. to use is also a good idea. A good engineering supplier should be able This makes a neat step for the thumbscrew to go into and conceals to supply you with the corresponding drill for your tapping tool.

For a clean hole I would use a lipped that allows me to shoot identical 45° chamfers on and spur tipped drill bit to drill this hole with the corners. You may find that you are able to do this a pillar drill. freehand or by using a dedicated chamfer plane. With that done you can now mark out and drill the holes for the nut and bolt that are used to secure the pencil in place. I used a stainless steel M6 cheese head 20mm long bolt and an M6 stainless steel nut. First drill a 6mm hole all the way through the beam. Then pass the bolt through the hole and tighten the nut onto it. Use a scalpel to trace round the nut to mark an appropriate recess that will accommodate the nut flush with the side Convert your shooter to plane 45° with a simple jig of the beam.

  • Chamfer Plane
    Chamfer Plane Christopher Swingley Introduction These plans are for a wooden chamfer plane modelled after the chamfer plane shown in Making Traditional Wooden Planes by John M. Whelan. My plans differ slightly because I used a two piece laminated plane body instead of the single block used by Whelan. My plane iron is a bit wider than his, so my plane body is also slightly larger. Detailed instructions on plane making appear in Whelan’s book and should be consulted as a supplement to these plans. Plans The first set of plans show the body of the plane. Two pegs through the body will strengthen the connection between the halves of the body. Constructing the plane this way is much easier because we can saw and chisel the mortise. 6 3/4" 2 1/2" 2" 1 7/8" 2 7/8" 1 1/4" Left half Left half Right half Interior side Heel Mortise 2 3/4" 2 3/4" 7/8" Heel Toe 1 3/4" 3 7/8" 1 7/8" 1" 3/8" Left half 7/8" Bottom side 1 1/4" 3/8" The following diagrams show the dimensions of the stop that forms the throat in front of the iron.

It was a single lane structure with a prominent sign warning that anyone driving faster than a walk would be assessed a fine of one dollar' Whenever I see a picture of a horse drawn sleigh about to enter a covered bridge 1 want to yell, "Stop! There's no snow in there." 1 saw my second covered bridge, a sturdy two-lane structure with a side footpath, at the entrance to the Shelburne Museum grounds. Essentially a preservation, the museum began its work none too soon. Had its building program not been under way in 1949 when the state decided to replace its last double-lane, covered bridge with a concrete structure, it is certain that this kind of Vermont landmark would have i disappeared entirely. The 168 foot bridge was dismantled and Bill and curator Jean Burks reassembled timber by timber at the museum. Probably One of the first books on tools that I was able to buy because they were fairly dark inside, covered bridges were when I first began collecting is Woodworking Tools at the often referred to as "kissing bridges," but that's another story.
